Lawyers representing Terraform Labs and its co-founder, Do Kwon, have recently <\/span>approached<\/span><\/a> a New York judge with a bold request. They\u2019re seeking a summary judgment, aiming to bring the ongoing legal battle with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to a swift conclusion. This move could prevent the case from progressing to a full-blown trial.<\/span><\/p>\n In February, the SEC launched a legal offensive against Kwon and Terraform Labs. The regulatory body accused the company of raising billions from investors through the \u201coffering and selling of an interconnected suite of crypto asset securities,\u201d many of which were allegedly unregistered transactions. Central to the SEC\u2019s argument was the infamous algorithmic stablecoin, Terra USD, which experienced a catastrophic collapse in May 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In their quest for a summary judgment, Terraform Labs and Kwon\u2019s legal team have boldly <\/span>stated<\/span><\/a> that the SEC has fallen short in its mission to prove any wrongdoing. <\/span><\/p>\n \u201cAfter two years of investigation, numerous depositions, and the exchange of millions of pages of documents and data, the SEC is no closer to proving that the Defendants did anything wrong,\u201d the lawyers emphasized.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Moreover, they firmly rejected the SEC\u2019s claims surrounding transferring 10,000 Bitcoin into Swiss bank accounts for personal gain. Significantly, drawing a comparison, the lawyers highlighted that the SEC attempts to create parallels between this case and other high-profile cases involving customer fund thefts, a narrative they vehemently deny.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Despite these strong assertions, Judge Jed Rakoff, who is at the helm of this case in the Southern District of New York, has previously denied Terraform Labs and Kwon\u2019s motion to dismiss the case. Hence, the stage is set for a continued legal showdown.<\/span><\/p>\n Meanwhile, in a Seoul district court, lawyers for Terraform Labs co-founder Daniel Shin are <\/span>asserting<\/span><\/a> his innocence concerning the Terra USD collapse. In April, Shin faced an indictment on several charges, including fraud. With the legal drama unfolding on multiple fronts, all eyes are now on how these complex cases will unravel in the coming days.<\/span><\/p>\n Read Also: <\/span>Is Terra Co-Founder Do Kwon Coming To US?
